Nope, No surprise
Saurabh Sharma and Anousha Parikh go down 8-21, 18-21 to Malaysia's Tan and Lai. This was always going to be a tough ask for the Indians, but they did put up a decent fight in the second game.
Yet another loss against India's name in this edition of the BWF World Championships.

Advantage, Malaysia
Tan and Lia edge ahead right at the stroke of the mid-game interval. The Indians played out of their skin to keep this close. Can they push this into a decider?
